2. The minimum bet is 0.20, and the maximum bet is 100.00.

9. Pacific Gold is played in two modes; Normal mode and Bonus mode with free drops.
10. All symbol drops in Normal mode start with 4 rows and 4,096 ways to win.
11. All low, mid, high and wild symbols exist in four sizes; standard 1x1, Super 2x2, Mega 3x3 and Epic 4x4. All big symbols are counted as consisting of the number of 1x1 symbol instances it covers, e.g a Super 2x2 consists of 4 standard 1x1 symbols.
12. Empty spaces occurring below big symbols are filled with 1x1 sized symbols of the same type as the big symbol to reach a stable horizontal resting state.
13. Big symbols clear away 1x1 symbols on their way downwards. Big symbols, Power Stacks, Pacific Waves, Ghost Boxes, bonus and wild symbols are not affected.
14. The Power Stack is a 1x1 sized symbol that represents a stack of 4 identical 1x1 payout symbols. It increases and represents 2 more symbol instances for each avalanche cycle of which it is not a part. A Power Stack which is not part of a win is affected by gravity.
15. The wild symbol substitutes for any symbol except the Pacific Wave, Power Stack, Ghost Box and the bonus symbol.
16. The Pacific Wave is a horizontal stack of identical payout symbols that appears in size 1x2, 1x3 or 1x4. It falls downwards due to gravity but potential remaining empty spaces underneath it are filled by wild symbols.
17. The entire Pacific Wave is removed in case it becomes part of a win.
18. A Ghost Box in view collects all symbols which are part of a win. Bigger symbols are poken apart and are collected as inpidual 1x1 symbols. The collection ends when there are no additional wins and then the box explodes and reveals its content. The content is distributed row by row starting with the symbol type with the largest number of collected symbols. With the same number of collected instances, the most valuable symbol is prioritized.
19. Bonus symbols can not be collected in a Ghost Box.
20. All wins in the current symbol drop are collected and thereafter all symbols which were part of a winning combination explode. The remaining symbols fall vertically until they reach a resting position, an additional row is added at the top and new symbols drop in to fill the empty spaces. The Avalanche feature continues as long as new winning combinations appear.
21. Each additional symbol drop will add an additional row of symbols, up to a maximum of 8 rows, increasing the number of ways to win. The number of ways to win increases as the number of rows increases.
4 rows: 4,096 ways to win
5 rows: 15,625 ways to win
6 rows: 46,656 ways to win
7 rows: 117,649 ways to win
8 rows: 262,144 ways to win

4 bonus symbols: 15 free drops
5 bonus symbols: 20 free drops
6 bonus symbols: 25 free drops
23. The free drops bonus game always starts with the safety level set to 4 rows. Every winning free drop advances the safety level one row.
24. The advancement of the safety level occurs after the payout. The next free drop starts from the new safety level. The safety level can at the most advance 4 rows resulting in a total of 8 rows with a maximum of 262,144 ways to win.
25. Three or more bonus symbols during Bonus mode retrigger additional free drops. The number of additional free drops is determined in the same way as when initially triggering the bonus game.
